What he is mentioning doing is not shill bidding. He is correct. When
and auction has "reserve not met" and no bids, a bid of the amount
listed as a the opening bid will not meet the reserve.

Shill bidding is using another name to bid on your own items, or having
someone else, who you know, bid on them.
